Definitions

  • This invention relates to a spandex supply package which contains spandex that has a lubricating finish and is wound up on a cylindrical core. More particularly, the invention concerns such a supply package wherein the amount of lubricating finish on the outer windings of spandex is considerably less than the amount of lubricating finish on the rest of the wound-up spandex. As a result of the decreased amount of lubricant on the surface of the outer windings, the stability of the package, especially with regard to sloughing-off of yarn from the package shoulders during shipping and handling, is greatly reduced. Description of the Prior Art
  • Spandex is a manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long chain synthetic polymer comprised of at least 85% by weight of a segmented polyurethane.
  • Most spandex is produced by dry spinning techniques and inherently is quite tacky.
  • lubricating finishes such as silicone oils, are applied to the surface of the spandex prior to windup.
  • the weight of the finish on the spandex amounts to in the range of 2 to 10% of the weight of the spandex.
  • spandex is wound up on a cylindrical core.
  • Equipment for this purpose is well known.
  • United States Patents 4,398,676 (Koppen et al) , 3,701,490 (Wray) and 3,409,238 (Campbell et al) disclose apparatus for high speed winding of spandex threadlines onto tubular cores to form spandex supply packages.
  • the spandex sometimes slides off the shoulders (i.e., the spandex near the flat circular faces) of the wound-up packages.
  • the spandex sometimes can unravel (or "piddle") from the package surface and fall to the bottom of the shipping container. Similarly, the spandex sometimes piddles onto the floor as the package is removed from the shipping container.
  • the sloughing off of spandex from the shoulders of a supply package creates time-consuming difficulties and waste, especially in further textile operations, such as beaming, warping, knitting, weaving, mechanical covering of the spandex, air-jet entangling with other yarns and the like.
  • U. S. Patent 3,296,063 discloses certain polysiloxanes as suitable finishes for spandex.
  • Japanese Patent Application Publication 63-66073 (Maruyama et al) describes a polyurethane elastic yarn supply package in the form of a cheese, in which the amount of finish applied to the yarn depends on the apparent elongation of the yarn within the cheese. The amount of finish generally is less on the yarns near the center of the yarn package than on the yarns near the outside of the package.
  • dipping, padding, spraying and the like are dipping, padding, spraying and the like.
  • Known devices for applying such finishes to spandex include oiling rollers, atomizers, and the like.
  • An object of the present invention is to eliminate, or at least greatly ameliorate, the problem of spandex sloughing off supply packages.
  • the present inventor found an unexpected relationship between the problem of spandex sloughing off supply packages and the amount of lubrication on the last few hundred meters of spandex wound up on the supply package. With the discovery of this surprising relationship, the present inventor was able to satisfy the object of the invention.
  • the above-noted prior art apparently did not recognize any relationship between the sloughing-off problem and the amount of lubricating finish on the spandex, and had not addressed the problem.
  • the present invention provides a spandex supply package in which the spandex is wound up on a cylindrical core and the spandex has a lubricating finish on its surface.
  • the spandex For decreased sloughing off of the spandex from the package, at least the last 100 meters, preferab ly the last 500 meters, of the wound up spandex has a decreased amount of finish on the surface, the amount being less than one-half the average amount of finish on the surface of the spandex in the supply package.
  • the weight of finish on the length of spandex having the decreased amount of finish is in the range of 0.2 to 2% based on the total weight of the spandex.
  • the length of spandex having the decreased amount of finish constitutes in the range of 0.1 to 0.5% of the total length of spandex wound up in the package.
  • the invention also includes a simple method for producing the improved spandex yarn supply package. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be better understood by reference to the drawings which depict a typical spandex supply package of the invention. In Fig. 1, an isometric drawing, and in Fig. 2, a side view, of the supply package, spandex 10 is wound on a cylindrical core, tube 20. Faces 30 represent the edges of the package.
  • Spandex yarn supply packages come in a variety of sizes.
  • a typical commercial spandex supply package has the spandex 10 helically wound up on a cylindrical tube core 20.
  • the core has a length L and an outer diameter, d, each of 4-inches (10.2 cm) .
  • Spandex 10 forms a wound up unit 15, centrally located along the length of core 20.
  • Wound up unit 15 has has an outer diameter D of 6 inches (15.2 cm), and a height H of 3.5 inches.
  • Such a typical package holds 1.1 pounds (0.5 Kg) of spandex.
  • the total length of spandex in such a package of course depends on the denier (dtex) of the spandex. For example, a 0.5-Kg package of spandex would contain 450,000 meters of 10 denier (1.1 dtex) spandex or 112,500 meters of 40 den (44 dtex) spandex.
  • Typical spandex supply packages have a silicone lubricating finish on the surface of the spandex.
  • the lubricating finish nominally weighs between about 3 to 10% of the total weight of the spandex. Commonly, the finish averages about 4.5 % by total weight of the spandex.
  • the decreasing of the amount of lubricating finish applied to the last of the spandex before it is wound up on a cylindrical member to form a package increases the friction sufficiently that the spandex no longer sloughs off the shoulders of the package.
  • the spandex is much easier to pull through during preparation for beaming, and less tangling is observed during backwinding for all downstream processing because the shoulders are stable.
  • This invention can be applied to all commercial spandex deniers, from 10 denier and below to 2240 denier and above.
  • Average measured finish levels on 100 yard lengths of spandex are expressed as weight percent of fiber.
  • the reference to first, second, etc. describes the yarn as it is removed from the package, so that the "first 100 yards" is the outermost on the package.
  • the finish roll motor is turned off about 1 or 2 minutes before the package is complete, so that at 965 ypm (882 mpm) spinning speed, 965 yards (882 meters) to 2000 yards (1828 meters) of spandex at the outside of the package have reduced finish levels.
  • the finish roll stops rotating instantly, leaving only a thin residual film of finish on its surface; this finish is removed by the passing fibers, which become the outside of the package. Finish may also be applied by other means such as atomizer, spray, or any other method as long as the finish applied is reduced at the outside of the package.
  • Example II This fiber is the same except the barium sulfate is omitted.
  • Beaming stringup (pull-through) evaluations on a Liba warper are given below.
  • Numbers 4, 5, and 6 represent packages of the invention, while D represents a control package with constant finish level (4.5wt% based on fiber) .

Abstract

Bobine d'alimentation en spandex améliorée (10) et procédé correspondant. La bobine comporte un mandrin cylindrique (20) sur lequel du spandex muni d'un apprêt de lubrification est enroulé. Les dernières centaines de mètres de spandex enroulé (40), constituant environ 0,1 à 0,5 % de la longueur totale du spandex enroulé sur la bobine, comportent moins de la moitié de la quantité d'apprêt de surface appliqué sur le reste du spandex enroulé sur la bobine.
